There is no doubt that putting together any kind of conference, whether ‘traditional’ or the new wave of ‘un-conferences’, is a tricky, intense and risky activity. But Podcamps, the podcasting-focused un-conferences derived from the Barcamp concept, are particularly tough due to the rule that attendance should be free of charge.

The Spikeys (shown left) are the new additions to the previously sparse and plant-slaying bedroom window sill.

I first wrote about my initial experience with Mozy’s online backup service here, and although I found it a very straightforward and pleasant experience, the Mac OSX version of their backup client simply wasn’t reliable. This week, they release version 0.5, and it’s great!
